Jet Fill Tensiometers

Tensiometers Mean No More Transporting Bulky Measuring Equipment into the Field

The Jet Fill Tensiometers give precise, continuous measurement of soil moisture conditions. Constructed of clear plastic with a rigid, heavy-walled design for accurate readings at high suction values. Resistant to damage by sun and soil conditions. The replaceable ceramic tip has 10 times the water conductivity of other units for higher sensitivity. For easy field maintenance, the unique Jet Fill water reservoir injects water into the body of the Tensiometer and removes air with no disturbance. Each unit features a large 2"-dia. vacuum dial with a hermetically sealed neoprene jacket to protect against weather and shock, and a rear vent screw to compensate for altitude variations. Time-proven O-ring seals ensure leakproof joints and allow the dial gauge to be turned in any position. For research work, the gauge also allows for adjustment of zero point setting and compensation of water table reference tables.Range: 0 to 100 centibars (Kpa). Diameter: 7⁄8". Service Kit required with initial order. Kit includes hand pump, filling bottle assembly, soil-moisture blue fluid, screwdriver and monthly chart forms. Optional Soil Coring Tool provides correct hole diameter for proper installation. Replacement Tips sold separately.
